On 11/18/10 at approximately 1750 hours I, Sr. Officer Nation, checked out at 25469 Borough Park Dr., Apt. #1122, Spring, TX. in reference to a warrant service on Gilberto Salgado Diaz, w/m, dob XXXX/74. I made contact with the subject at his front door and he identified himself by TDL, #XXXXXXXX, to be the defendant. I executed the following three active Oak Ridge North Municipal Warrants on him: #90346201 - Motor Vehicle Inspection Violation, #90346202 - Expired Registration, and #903462V01 - Violate Promise To Appear for a total of $793.00. I transported Mr. Diaz to the South Montgomery County Jail. At the Jail Mr. Diaz was booked in on the above warrants without incident.

On 11-16-10 at approx. 1547 hours I, Officer McGrew, was on patrol in the 26800 block of the IH 45 east frontage road. I observed a black GMC Jimmy, bearing Texas license plate number X50TGG, traveling northbound in front of me. It appeared that the vehicle was displaying, what I know to be from my training and experience, a fictitious State of Texas motor vehicle inspection certificate (MVI sticker). I observed that the sticker appeared to be a dark grey color, had an exaggerated font, and had a high gloss. These are signs that I know to be indicative of a fictitious MVI sticker. While running the vehicle's rear license plate through my mobile data computer, I observed that the liability insurance showed to be expired and unconfirmed for 45 days or more. The liability insurance company showed to have been Old American County Mutual Insurance Company, policy number LBTX-00004175, which expired on 09-23-2010. Due to the insurance and inspection violation, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and we came to a stop at the northeast loop of the Woodlands Parkway and the IH 45 east frontage road.
Upon making contact with the vehicle, I advised the driver of the reason for the stop. I again observed the fictitious MVI sticker. I observed that the sticker had a fictitious paper backing instead of an authentic sticker backing. I also observed that the sticker had a number on the bottom left (P11110398), similar to an assigned MVI number that I know to be used for fictitious MVI's. The driver identified himself as William Hines, Texas Driver's License number XXXXXXXX. While talking with Hines, I observed that he was wearing a security guard uniform. I also observed that he was wearing a gun belt with a firearm. Hines advised that he was a commissioned security guard with Houston Security. Hines presented a Texas Department of Public Safety commission card. I observed that Hines appeared to be very nervous. I observed that his hands were noticeably shaking. I also observed his heart beating through his shirt. I asked Hines how long he has had the vehicle and he advised that he has owned the vehicle since 2007. I asked Hines about the fictitious MVI sticker. Hines first advised that the sticker came with the vehicle. He later advised that he was given the sticker by a friend. I asked Hines if there were any other fictitious documents in the vehicle and he advised that there was not. Due to Hines' nervous state and possession of fictitious documents, I asked Hines if I could search the vehicle for other fictitious documents. Hines was also disarmed due to his nervous state and for Officer safety. Hines gave written consent to search his vehicle. No other contraband was found at this time in the vehicle. I then ran Hines' duty weapon, a Rossi .38 revolver, through radio dispatch and through my mobile data computer for a weapons check. I observed that the weapon showed to be listed as stolen out of the Houston Police Department on 12-05-1995. I asked Hines about the pistol and he advised that he purchased the pistol from Guardco Security Company back in 1994. He advised that he used to work for the company. He then advised that the company purchased the firearm for him and garnished his paycheck for two payments of $179.00. Hines advised that Guardco was out of business now. Houston Police Department was contacted and advised confirmation on the stolen firearm. I then contacted Montgomery County ADA's Office who concurred with the arrest. Due to Hines being in possession of a stolen firearm and in possession of a fictitious motor vehicle inspection certificate, I placed him in custody for theft (firearm) and possession of a fictitious motor vehicle inspection certificate. He was then transported to Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Jail in The Woodlands, TX. Hines' vehicle was towed by AW Towing to 8933 Tamina Road, Conroe, TX. Hines was also cited for no motor vehicle inspection and failure to maintain financial responsibility. The fictitious MVI sticker and pistol were confiscated and placed in the Oak Ridge North Police Department. This incident was recorded on Unit 75's digital camera system. This report was faxed to Montgomery County Sheriff's Office for removal of the firearm from NCIC/TCIC.

On 11-14-2010, at approx. 0700 hrs I, Officer R. E. Craig III of the Oak Ridge North Police Department, was dispatched to the AT&T building located at 114 Robinson Rd, in the City of Oak Ridge North, Montgomery County, Texas. When I arrived at the location I was met by the Superintendent for this location, Michael Mastrogiovanni, who will be my complainant in the offense report. He will be referred to as Michael from this point on in my report. Michael advised me that several of the AT&T vehicles had been broken into and numerous tools had been stolen. All of the trucks in this parking lot are secured by a 6 foot cyclone fence and wooden privacy fence with razor wire on the top rail. There are several light poles in this parking lot for added security. On the night of this theft it was raining most of the night. There are also two gates that vehicles can enter and exit from. These parking lot gates are left unlocked during the business day but then they are locked at around 6:00 pm daily. AT&T employees have a key to unlock the gate to drive in and park their trucks. Michael advised me that it looked as though someone had cut the cyclone fence on the east side of the parking lot along the drainage ditch. I looked at the fence and noticed that the fencing had been cut vertically and about a 3 foot hole was made in the fencing. Also on the ground were several small hand tools (pliers, wire cutters, and splicers). It looked as though this is where the suspect(s) made entry into the parking lot. As I looked along the drainage ditch where the hole in the fence had been made I noticed that the grass looked as though it had been walked on several times because it was laid down. I walked to the south along the drainage ditch and noticed several other small tools laying in the grass. At the south end of the AT&T parking is another locked gate that has a gravel driveway . It looked as though the suspects may have had a vehicle parked by this gate because there were tire marks in the grass by the gravel road. I then went back into the parking lot to look at the vehicles that had been broken into. That's when I noticed that 3 light poles in the parking lot were not working. There was only one light pole that had lights that were on. It just so happens that this light pole has a main breaker box on it that controls power to the 3 poles that were not working. I noticed that the breaker was in the off position. Michael advised me that the each of the trucks had company tools and equipment as well as tools and equipment that the employee may have bought. At this time Michael is unable to tell me exactly was taken from each of the trucks until each of the driver's conducts an inventory of their trucks. He advised me that he would get with each of the employees and comprise an itemized list with serial numbers and cost of the items that were stolen from the vehicles. I drew a diagram of the parking lot and documented the location of each of the vehicles in the parking lot as well as where entry had been made on each of the trucks. This diagram will be filed with my report. There were 22 vehicles including 4 trailer compressors in this parking lot on the night of the theft. Only 10 vehicles were broken into and 2 trailer compressors had the locks cut.

On 11-15-2010 at approx. 0800 hrs I, Officer R. E. Craig III of the Oak Ridge North Police Department, was dispatched to 27129 Paula Ln in reference to a Burglary of a Motor Vehicle and the reportee was a Betty Ryan. Upon my arrival I met with Mrs. Betty Ryan, W/F, XXXX-43. She advised me that someone had broken the front passenger window on her car. She advised me that the vehicle was parked in the driveway on the side of the house. When I walked around the house to look at the vehicle, I noticed that a blue Lincoln Towncar, bearing TX LP# 737LXT, did indeed have the front passenger window broken out. I asked if she had opened the vehicle since she noticed the window had been broken out. She stated that she has not touched it. I noticed that all the doors were still in the locked position and none of the doors looked like they had any damage to them. I asked Mrs. Ryan if she noticed if anything was missing from the vehicle. She looked inside and advised me that the only thing that was missing was some paperwork like her vehicle title and her insurance card. She advised me that the title was a clear, not a duplicate, non negotiable title. Mrs. Ryan advised me she had parked the car on Saturday evening, 11-13-2010, around 6:00 pm and she noticed that the window was broken out this morning around 8:00 am when she was taking out the trash. I believe that the burglary may have happened in the early morning hours on Monday, 11-15-2010. The inside of the vehicle was not very wet so it leads me to believe that it may have happened early this morning. There were several rain storms that passed through the area between 11:00 pm on 11-13-10 and 2:00 am on 11-14-10. These storms produced lots of rain. If the burglary would happened before this storm passed, the car would have had lots of water inside due to the broken window. Mrs Ryan is worried that someone may have taken these papers from her car to possibly use the personal information for identification crimes. I was unable to lift any fingerprints from the interior of the vehicle due to the textured surfaces and it did not appear that the car doors had ever been opened. It appeared that someone broke the front passenger window out, then reached in and opened the glove box, and grabbed whatever paperwork may have been in there.

On 11-14-2010, at approx. 1310 hrs I, Officer R. E. Craig III of the Oak Ridge North Police Department, was dispatched to a building check at 203 Wickwood, Spring,TX. 77385. The notes stated that the side gate to the backyard was open as well as the front door. The reportee was a Caleb Flower. When I arrived at the house at approx 1312 hours, I met with the reportee Caleb Flower in the street. He advised me that he lives across the street from the house that has the open door. He further stated that he had left his house at approx. 11:45 am and he did not notice anything out of place across the street. He said he was gone for about an hour and half or so. He said that he arrived back home at 1:10 pm and he noticed that the side gate to the backyard was open as well as the front door. He said that he knew that was odd because both of the vehicles that are normally there were not there at this time. He then stayed outside and called for Police assistance from his cell phone. After getting this information I approached the house and peeped in the front door . That's when I noticed the door on the back side of the house was ajar and it appeared that the door jam was knocked off the wall. I could also see that the bolt on the dead bolt lock was bent and the door was damaged. I then backed out of the house to the front porch, maintained a visual on the rear door, and called for another Unit to check by with me to clear the house. Chief A. T. Walters, Unit #2700, arrived on location and we cleared the house. The house was unoccupied at this time. There was definitely forced entry through the rear door which is on the north side of the house. It appeared that the back door, that is made of wood with a metal exterior, had been kicked from the outside which caused the door jam to break and thus the door to open. There was a smeared muddy shoe print on the outside of the door. The back door is not visible from the street due to the 6 foot wooden privacy fence that encloses the backyard. As I went through the house it did not appear that anything was missing at first. Detective J. Ford of the Oak Ridge North Police Department was called to the scene to photograph the back door. As I walked through the house I noticed some mail in the house that had this address on it. The mail had the name Jesus and Liliana Lopez on it. I contacted the Oak Ridge North Water Department and they were able to give me a contact number to a Jesus Lopez. I called this number and got no answer. Then a few minutes later Jesus Lopez called me back and I asked him if he was the homeowner at 203 Wickwood. He stated that he was. I then advised him that it appeared that his house had been broken into and I needed him to come to the house so he could tell me what might be missing from the house. He stated that he was in Tomball at work but he could leave work and be home in about 30 minutes. He was advised that I would remain on location until he arrived. He arrived at the house about 1:30 or so. He and I walked through the house and he noticed that a Dell laptop computer was missing from the kitchen table. He and I walked to the master bedroom and he immediately noticed that the flat screen TV that was on the dresser was missing. He then noticed that a jewelry box that was once on the dresser was missing. He said his wife would have to come home and tell me what all was in the jewelry box. As we walked back towards the front of the house he looked in the front jacket closet by the front door and he noticed a brand new black jacket was missing. He stated that he did not have any idea of the costs on the items that were taken but he advised me that he would get with his wife as soon as she got home. After he talked to his wife he was going to call me back with all the prices and hopefully some serial numbers. I gave Jesus Lopez a case number and I left the scene. Later this same afternoon he called me back and advised that he had the costs on the items that were missing but he did not have the serial numbers on the computer or the TV yet. I asked him if I could stop by his house tomorrow around 7:30 am. He stated that would be better and he would continue to look for the serial numbers.
